Bada is so friendly and he is an excellent storyteller! I was able to appreciate the places and history more because of the stories he shared with us. He truly made the experience enjoyable and informative, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
I would love to recommend this tour to my family and friends. This tour is great especially if you want to have a deeper understanding of South Korea’s and Gyeongju’s history.

Jesse is an outstanding tour guide who speaks fluent English and is highly knowledgeable about the sights. He’s also a fantastic photographer, and his photos were a highlight of our tour. Jesse went above and beyond to answer our questions and took us to the best places to eat. When I left my sunglasses in his van, he made the extra effort to meet up with us before we left Busan to return them. I highly recommend him—skilled, honest, and incredibly talented.

Check the weather forecast before booking. The Gyeongju tour is fantastic for photo taking and scenic walks but it's 90% outdoors so not advisable for wet and rainy days. Itinerary is good and well paced but would suggest having more free time at gyochon village instead of hwangnidan-gil would be better but that's maybe a personal preference. Our tour guide, Kayla, was fantastic. Friendly, charming, helpful and great at taking photos!

I recommend Kari, the tour guide, who is enthusiastic and considerate, and explains the boring history very vividly! Easy to understand ~ I hope your company has other facilities for the pick-up and drop-off location on rainy days. The shuttle bus was 20 minutes late. Our socks and shoes were all soaked before we set off. There was no shelter at the pick-up point and our feet were soaked in the water. It was wet and cold, and I felt bad all day long!
